I'm taking stool softeners

Hubby has constipation big time with PD

constipation is one of the non-motor symptoms of PD. increasing the fiber in your diet will help. if all else fails. a laxative helps, although doctors do not like people to stay on laxatives for very long because the body becomes dependent on them. but with PD it is more important to keep the bowels moving so that the medication can be absorbed.

The most common complaint is constipation. I did have scary diarrhea when I took Entacapone. I had to stop talking it.

My Dad eats carrots. Maybe not getting thirsty and not drinking enough water can contribute. Not as active. Would a warm bath or an enama help. A laxative helps my Father.
